How to Reduce Size, Weight and Power of Satellite Command and Telemetry Subsystems

Today there are nearly 1,400 satellites in orbit with functions ranging from surveillance and imaging to television and voice communications.

With each new mission, customers need more functionality, which requires larger satellite payloads and forces manufacturers to increase the size, weight and power (SWaP) of their satellite command and telemetry systems.

This new white paper discusses how using the latest rad hard ICs can simplify the design of a next-generation satellite command and telemetry subsystem.
